Spear. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) piercing damage plus 10 (3d6) cold damage. If the target is a creature, it makes a DC 16 Constitution saving throw , becoming slowed for 1 minute on a failure. The target repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
Ice Wall (1/Day). The devil magically creates a wall of ice on a solid surface it can see within 60 feet. The wall is flat, 1 foot thick, and can be up to 50 feet long and 15 feet high. The wall lasts for 1 minute or until destroyed. Each 10-foot section has AC 12, 30 hit points, vulnerability to fire damage, and immunity to cold, necrotic, poison, and psychic damage.
If the wall enters a creature’s space when it appears, the creature is pushed to one side of the wall (creature’s choice). The creature then makes a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw , taking 49 (14d6) cold damage on a successful save or half damage on a success.

REACTIONS
Freezing Blood (1/Day). When a creature within 60 feet that the devil can see hits it with a ranged attack or includes it in a spell’s area, the creature makes a DC 16 Constitution saving throw . On a failure, the creature takes 10 (3d6) cold damage and is slowed until the end of its next turn.
Combat
The ice devil prefers melee combat, dropping its ice wall on melee attackers in a way that blocks ranged attackers from participating in the battle. The ice devil uses its spear attack first to slow one or two opponents, and then attacks slowed opponents with bite and claws. The ice devil rarely retreats from melee, though it may do so if threatened by ranged attackers it can’t counter.

Legends and Lore
With an Arcana or Religion check, characters can learn the following:
DC 10 Many scholars believe that devils are angels that fell from grace. When touched by evil, mortal souls may transform into devils, as well.
DC 15 Neither fire nor poison harms a devil, and even magical darkness doesn’t impede a devil’s vision. They are supernaturally resistant to mundane damage, although magical and silvered weapons wound them normally.
DC 20 Though irredeemably evil, devils can be bargained with at the bargainer’s peril. They generally keep their word.
Though hell is typically associated with fire, some parts of the infernal realm are blisteringly cold. Ice devils rule these frozen wastes, using them as training grounds for hell’s newest recruits. Cold-hearted taskmasters, ice devils despise weakness above all else. In combat, they wield spears made from the frozen souls of those who failed to meet their exacting standards.
